The image above is of plus-sized model Katya Zharkova. I have no idea who that is, and I'm sure she's wearing a lot of Fotoshop by Adobé. However, I'm sure we can all agree -- except for the disgusting doucheball asshole pigs -- that Katya is one hell of an attractive woman, and that her "plus-size" looks like a fairly average body type (actually, given the country's propensity for over-eating, she probably falls well under the median weight).

Twenty years ago the average fashion model weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today, she weighs 23% less.

Ten years ago plus-size models averaged between size 12 and 18. Today the need for size diversity within the plus-size modeling industry continues to be questioned. The majority of plus-size models on agency boards are between a size 6 and 14, while the customers continue to express their dissatisfaction.
